Chicago Police, the pros and the cons of the force on their own familys

Introduction

We all understand that policemanman have a sense of family and have historic defended their own. They kept domestic violence in police homes a "family secret," and dealt with it in-house when they dealt with it at all (Burke, 77).

We still see the same reluctance inside the agencies to address police-perpetrated household violence a misdeed as we saw in the general population 20 years ago. Police regress to talking about domestic violence in periods of private affairs and marital problems. They inquire, "How can the department hinder in an employee's personal life?

If her abuser is also an agent, she is breaking the police code of quiet by revealing him. Her colleagues may well turn against her and side with the abuser.

Police abusers are skilled in verbal intimidation and degradation. Women tell us their abusers scream at them like they talk to criminals on the road — their voices and faces change; they use filthy road dialect; they tell the casualty she is "just like the scumbags he agreements with every day." Some women recount fearing that the abuser has lost touch with truth, that he has forgotten who she is while he is in this rage.

The anecdotes of the personal misuse these victims have described to me are far and away the most brutal I have ever heard. These perpetrators are taught in the use of force. To make it poorer, they are of the mind-set that the casualty, by showing any opposition to his will, is responsible for the grade of force that is used against her. He is accomplished in turning it ...
